Parallel Bio - using the immune system to cure disease

Harness an army of immune cells to cure cancer. Eradicate infectious diseases from the face of the planet. Curb autoimmune disease and allergy with a cellular switch. Identify the root causes of aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Let's discover the future of immunotherapy, together.

Impact

Our immune systems are master regulators of health and disease. Current tools used to discover drugs that target the immune system are wildly inadequate. To fix this critical gap, Parallel Bio created a human 'immune system in a dish' to rapidly accelerate the development of new drugs and immunotherapies more likely to work in patients. This is the first step on our journey to build a new type of biopharma by reimagining the way we cure disease. Our mission is to design and engineer breakthrough tools inspired by human biology, starting with replacing ineffectual mouse and synthetic platforms.

The Role

We are seeking a highly motivated immunologist to join our team in Los Angeles. You'll drive our immunology thought leadership, working closely with the CEO and CSO to define the direction of the company in this area, help with ideation, new project development, strategies, and priorities. You'll be expected to produce high quality and consistent data that complies with pharmaceutical laboratory standards. You'll participate in our internal drug discovery efforts, helping to establish, characterize, and develop our platform, participate in executing existing partnerships, help with hiring, and have the opportunity to decide on your growth trajectory as the company grows.

Our Team, Values, and Culture

We are building a diverse, interdisciplinary team of dreamers and doers. Forget incrementalism and leave low-risk ideas at the door. We're looking for fellow visionaries hungry for real impact in reimagining every facet of how we cure disease. Some of our values: first principles thinking, burning passion, and a drive to work with like-minded people; thinking outside the box and the ability to envision that which has not yet been built; listen, then talk; don't forget to have fun; cooperation, trust, ethics, and transparency.

We are funded by some of the world's best investors: Y Combinator, Refactor Capital, Breakout Ventures, leaders from pharma, tech, and government, and more. You're joining an incredibly ambitious team at an early enough time to help us define our culture, choices, and success. We will have the highest expectations of you, just as we do of ourselves. Join us in re-imagining what's possible with immunotherapy
